Where:
JONAS GREEN PARK, Rte 450 @ the Naval Academy Bridge.
1st session for FIRST TIMERS:
7:00 a.m. Saturday, June 30, 2012
1st session for VETERAN MARATHONERS:
7:00 a.m. Saturday, July 7, 2012
Description:
This low-key program will guide the participants from a base of 10 miles up to a three long runs of 20 + miles in 17 weeks. We will start at Jonas Green Park, run to the B & A trail, run the prescribed distance on the trail and return to Jonas Green Park. Occasional “Scenic” route diversions will be planned. Hydration on the trail will be provided, but all participants are encouraged to carry water/hydration. The goal will be for all who complete the program to be able to complete the Marine Corps Marathon and/or Baltimore Marathon. A formal training plan will be sent out in May.
Prerequisites:
Annapolis Strider membership and ability to run 10 miles comfortably as outlined above. What does comfortable mean? It means being able to run 10 miles without being winded or flat out, plum exhausted at the end, such that you could run another 2 or 3 miles without difficulty.
Sessions:
Weekly: each Saturday at 7:00 a.m. sharp (time will be move back to 6:30 a.m. a few weeks into the program due to increased heat/humidity). Those who can't attend the weekly session should strive to do it on their own. The training program will also provide “on your own” training during the week.
Program Includes:
How to build up for the marathon, various pace charts, injury prevention and treatment, running safety, and keeping running fun. Information on appropriate summer running attire and hydration will also be provided. The B&A Trail has generously allowed us to hold this program on the trail. A handout on trail running safety will be provided.
Guaranteed Entry to Marine Corps Marathon:
The MCM has graciously agreed to reserve a limited number guaranteed entries to Annapolis Striders first time marathoners. We will set aside the guaranteed spots for first timers on a first come/first served basis and issue them at a future date (TBD), so don’t delay in getting in Strider application. You must train with us to receive one of the guaranteed spots, and you must pay for registration. Don’t want to run the Marine Corps Marathon? We will also offer training schedules for the Baltimore Marathon, too, or other marathons if so desired.
